Jack died around 10 years ago or so. A great comrade, hugely respected in the NUT nationally as well as locally. He was, I think, Bristol branch secretary of the CPB when he died (a position then taken over by Denver Walker). When the Timex strikers, the North Wales quarry workers etc. needed solidarity, it was Jack who organised the visits of strike delegations to see the Bristol dockers, bus workers etc. - and they would come away with large sums of money collected at workplaces.
